Pelleted Feeds With And Without Antibiotics For Fattening Lambs, L. F. Bush, R. M. Jordan May 1956

Pelleted Feeds With And Without Antibiotics For Fattening Lambs, L. F. Bush, R. M. Jordan

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Two lamb feeding trials were conducted to determine if it paid to pellet rations and to study the value of antibiotics in fattening rations.
Lambs fed pelleted rations gained slightly faster and more efficiently than those not fed pellets. However, grinding, mixing, and pelleting costs more than offset this advantage.
Carcass yields were slightly higher for lambs fed pelleted rations (average of both trials). The carcass grade was about one-third of a standard grade lower.
Results from adding 10 milligrams of aureomycin per pound of feed were not consistent for both trials. Aureomycin stimulated growth and increased feed efficiency in …

Better Agriculture Through Research In South Dakota, 1887-1956, I. B. Johnson Apr 1956

Better Agriculture Through Research In South Dakota, 1887-1956, I. B. Johnson

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Agricultural research in South Dakota has progressed with the state. In fact, the early experimental work was begun even before South Dakota was admitted to statehood. Federal funds to establish experimental work in the Dakota Territory were made available under the Hatch Act in 1887. Accordingly, the following year the first main experiment station was established in South Dakota State College, Brookings. There were five departments at the start – agriculture, botany-horticulture and forestry, chemistry, entomology, and veterinary science. Each department employed by one scientist. (See more in text)

Feeding Value Of Early, Medium And Late Cut Prairie Hay, L. B. Embry, G. F. Sastler, O. E. Olson Apr 1956

Feeding Value Of Early, Medium And Late Cut Prairie Hay, L. B. Embry, G. F. Sastler, O. E. Olson

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

Prairie hay makes up a major part of the harvested feeds that are fed to cattle and sheep in many areas of South Dakota. A large number of animals are also grazed most of the winter on the matured and standing grass in the range area of the state.
Chemical analysis of samples cut from various areas of the state, reflecting the extremes in harvesting dates (June to October), show this hay varies from more than 10 to less than 4 percent protein. Stage of maturity when harvested was found to have a big effect on the protein and phosphorus …

Economic Potentials Of Poultry Breeding, W. Morgan, D. Jones, W. Kohlmeyer Feb 1956

Economic Potentials Of Poultry Breeding, W. Morgan, D. Jones, W. Kohlmeyer

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

One of the remarkable agricultural accomplishments of the past 30 years has been the increased productivity of our chickens. Not only has the poultry industry produced hens that would lay more eggs (national average, 1925-112, 1954- 183), but the economical production of meat in the form of broilerfryers has created a new industry in the poultry field. In attempting to analyze important factors contributing to these advances, it seems that three areas of improvement have been of major importance. Management (particularly as it relates to disease control and sanitation problems), breeding and selection, and improved rations have all contributed significantly …

Acculturation Of The Dakota Indians, Vernon D. Malan, James L. Satterlee Jan 1956

Acculturation Of The Dakota Indians, Vernon D. Malan, James L. Satterlee

Agricultural Experiment Station Rural Sociology Pamphlets (1940-1977)

In this pamphlet the process of acculturation among the Dakota Indians-the change which has taken place in Dakota culture as a result of contact with the dominant Caucasian society-has been analyzed. We may conclude from this study that in general culture change was most likely to occur among the Dakotas when the new culture elements satisfied some basic or secondary drive of the people. Culture change was likewise dependent upon the manner in which the new ideas were introduced to them. If the changes were attempted through coercion, they were not so readily accepted as those made voluntarily. The policies …

Growth And Selenium Content Of Wheat As Affected By Applications Of Salts To Soils, Frederick J. Kurpjuweit Jan 1956

Growth And Selenium Content Of Wheat As Affected By Applications Of Salts To Soils, Frederick J. Kurpjuweit

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

For many years livestock in some areas have been subject to a certain sickness. The external symptoms are a rough hair coat, loss of hair from the mane and tail of horses, loss of hair from the tail of cattle, and sore feet. In some extreme cases, an animal’s hooves have been known to drop off. This sickness has been called “Alkali Disease”, because it was believed to be caused by alkali or mineral salts in the soil or water. Later, it became known that forages and grain crops grown in those areas caused this sickness, when fed to animals. …

Effects Of The Intensity Of Grazing On Range Livestock Production, The Native Vegetation, And The Soil Complex, George Mason Van Dyne Jan 1956

Effects Of The Intensity Of Grazing On Range Livestock Production, The Native Vegetation, And The Soil Complex, George Mason Van Dyne

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Maximum sustained livestock production can be obtained only through proper grazing practices on the range and efficient feeding practices in the feedlot. Adjusting livestock numbers to prevent overuse of the range resource is the principle problem in securing purpose of South Dakota’s rangelands. There is considerable variation in the intensity of grazing on rangelands in the state. It is recognized that if a range is stocked too heavily the native vegetation deteriorates, causing decreased forage and livestock production and often considerable soil erosion. It is equally apparent hat too light grazing fails to make use of forage, and total livestock …

Investigations Of Methyl Donors And Linseed Oil Meal In Alleviating Selenium Poisoning, Eriks Leitis Jan 1956

Investigations Of Methyl Donors And Linseed Oil Meal In Alleviating Selenium Poisoning, Eriks Leitis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The problem of selenium poisoning has been extensively reviewed. Although a considerable amount of work has been done on this problem, the mechanism of the toxic action of selenium is not understood. This work has undertaken as part of an effort to determine the nature of the protective effect of certain substances against selenium poisoning, in that this might aid in understanding its toxic action. The conflicting findings concerning the effectiveness of methionine against selenium poisoning were obtained with a variety of diets and under a variety of other experimental conditions. It appeared, therefore, that certain unknown factors or conditions …

Studies Of Pleuropneumonia-Like Organisms, John A. Duerre

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The occurrence of a great number of poultry diseases which affect the respiratory systems of both chickens and turkeys has brought about extensive studies on control measures to curb losses due to these infections. The losses due to these infections are tremendous throughout the poultry producing areas of the world. Infectious laryngotracheitis, Newcastle disease, fowl pox, infectious bronchitis, chronic respiratory disease, infectious sinusitis, fowl cholera and aspergillosis cause similar symptoms and gross lesions (19). Diagnosis and preventive treatment are of extreme importance. Fowl cholera and aspergillosis can be detected by cultural techniques. The other six diseases show differential diagnosis with …

Digestibility Of Rations And Nitrogen Balance By Lambs As Influenced By Animal Fat, Urea, Soybean Meal And Linseed Meal, James King Turner Jan 1956

Digestibility Of Rations And Nitrogen Balance By Lambs As Influenced By Animal Fat, Urea, Soybean Meal And Linseed Meal, James King Turner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Feed processing and handling of livestock feeds have benefited from the use of fats in many ways. Nutritionally speaking, several reasons in favor of the use of stabilized animal fats in feeds have been reported. However, the optimum level and value of added fats in the rations for ruminants are not well established and further work is needed. It is known that fat is absorbed more slowly from the intestine than either carbohydrates or protein, and this may be an important factor in the utilization of added fat in the diet. Research with urea as a protein sparer has been …

A Market News Service For Livestock Auctions In South Dakota, O. Nervik, G. E. Marousek, R. L. Kristjanson Dec 1955

A Market News Service For Livestock Auctions In South Dakota, O. Nervik, G. E. Marousek, R. L. Kristjanson

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

The livestock industry is the largest immediate source of cash farm income in South Dakota. Auctions are an important market for the state's livestock when one considers the number of animals sold by them or the proportion of farmers and ranchers who sell or buy livestock at auctions.
The number of livestock sold through auctions has been increasing steadily through the years. The increase from 1938 to 1954 was 317 percent. Livestock producers and feeders place enough importance in market news reports to warrant establishing an auction market news service in South Dakota. Auction market news is reported by the …
